Hi Everyone, Not quite such a nice day, overcast and threatening to rain when I was out walking, but there is a little blue sky - enough to "patch grandads trousers" It did rain a little but was mainly fine. We decided to catch the train into the city centre to go to the Art Gallery to see the display of the "Staffordshire Hoard". In 2009 a man was using a metal detector in a field near Lichfield, he found some gold and silver treasure pieces that dated back ...

We next headed further south to Withernsea where we again got out to walk...
